So, it’s been far too long since we updated anything on our website – for that I apologize.\u00a0 Lot’s of exciting things have happened, including Jonathan’s 4th and Gabe’s 1st birthdays.\u00a0 We had a great trip to Walt Disney World over Spring Break with Renee’s folks, a great trip to my Aunt Lori and Uncle Randy’s house in Lynchburg, VA over Easter, and a great trip Gatlinburg, TN with the Peters’ and Owens’ over Memorial Day.\u00a0 I hope to get some pictures up soon, but can’t promise anything, as we’ll be pretty busy the next few weeks, what with the packing, moving and starting a new job.<\/p>\n
To make a long story short, Union University<\/a> in Jackson, TN – between Nashville an Memphis, about 4 hours from where we are now – had an open position in their Student Services department, Director of Residence Life.\u00a0 Over the past two years at Covenant, I have really seen my gifts line up well, and have desired to pursue a career working in Higher Education.\u00a0 I also have an old (history, not age \ud83d\ude09 ) friend who took a position at Union last year and had nothing but great things to say about the school and the department.\u00a0 So, after thinking, praying, and seeking advice, Renee and I decided I should apply. Almost two weeks ago I was interviewed and offered the job.\u00a0 I start in a week and a half (June 8th) and we – Lord willing – will close on a house on June 29th.\u00a0 A whirlwind you say?\u00a0 Life as usual for the Litschers.<\/p>\n Anyway, while we are thrilled about this next chapter in our lives, it will be hard to leave Covenant and the community we’ve invested in for two years.\u00a0 We definitely weren’t looking to leave – which makes this transition both harder and easier.\u00a0 We’ll miss a ton of great students and working with the staff we’ve been with for two years as well.\u00a0 But we do have peace, which makes it bearable.\u00a0 And while Jonathan knows we are moving to Jackson, TN, I still don’t think he realizes what that means – that the “big kids” he’s known & pretty much grown up around won’t be there to bother in the lobby or nag into playing with him.\u00a0 He was having a hard enough time when they were going home for the summer.\u00a0 We’ve been playing up the fact that he’ll have a yard and get his dog back, but once it hits him that he won’t get to see his buddies here, we may have to get out the tissues.<\/p>\n Well, that’s it for now.\u00a0 I’m up early (late?) with a bad sore throat so I’m going to attempt a few more hours of sleep before the day starts.\u00a0 Pictures will come soon.\u00a0 And by soon, I really mean soon-ish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, it’s been far too long since we updated anything on our website – for that I apologize.\u00a0 Lot’s of exciting things have happened, including Jonathan’s 4th and Gabe’s 1st birthdays.\u00a0 We had a great trip to Walt Disney World over Spring Break with Renee’s folks, a great trip to my Aunt Lori and Uncle … Continue reading On the Move…<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[11],"tags":[50,161,162,160],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.litschers.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.litschers.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.litschers.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.litschers.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.litschers.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=969"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.litschers.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":970,"href":"https:\/\/www.litschers.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/969\/revisions\/970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.litschers.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.litschers.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.litschers.com\/updates\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
